Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O'Doomers!



One of the greatest turns of all time I say!

Hitting the middle of the push for Extreme Rulz. Looks like we've got a hell of a six-man tag on the way but what are we going to do with WWE World Champion Daniel Bryan. Kane? Please no. If we're going to waste Bryan's title run with him battling mid-carders, at least battle ones that he can have great matches with.

The Network is sort of bothering me these days. Like Scott said, there's so much in the vault they could pull out to make me happy. Running a new 80s Wrestling Challenge, Superstars and NWA Worldwide and/or Saturday Night on weekends would be a nice start. Eventually throwing up some Nitros and the Clashes would be better.

There's more but I have to get to the kid's baseball game so just enjoy the show and come out swinging and keep it clean and stuff. You know what to do.

  1. ICYMI: Daniel Bryan will be performing with a heavy heart tonight.

  2. Maybe Kane and DBry will hug it out tonight. After all, they were in on it together! All the clues were there.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Maybe Wyatts can beat up Cena's dad to make up for it

    ReplyDelete
  4. That's some bullshit, dude is having the greatest month of his entire life. Terrible news.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Princess, it's Kane-Bryan tonight. Didn't you say that you were SURE that would be taking place at WM?

    ReplyDelete
  6. It's insane when you think about the major life events that have happened to that guy in the past 20 days

    ReplyDelete
  7. Kane did an awesome job of cooling down Benoit's title run.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Tonight will prob lead to a gimmick match between the two at the ppv.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Just gave it a thread all its own

    ReplyDelete
  10. His dad would have wanted the show to go on.

    What kind of classy crowd chant is there for expressing condolences on the death of one's father?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Figured I'd repost this TJ here:

    TJ: 1984 WWF Timeline w/ Piper trailer.

    Last 2 mins....um....is Piper talking about Patterson raping him?

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V...

    Fucking Fleury, 2 quick goals. Time to yank him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Anyone watching the Network right now? I'm watching the live feed and they ended Spring Stampede 98 with about 20 minutes to go before the Raw pre-show, so they just threw on a the Malenko/Mysterio title change from Nitro. Love when they do soemthing like that.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Winner gets a hug from the loser.

    ReplyDelete
  15. That is cool. But no, I'm watching Bryce vs. Trout.

    ReplyDelete
  16. You deserve it?

    Sorry, I really do feel bad for Bryan.

    ReplyDelete
  17. What is that? Some sort of fishing show on the outdoor network?

    ReplyDelete
  18. They can just intercut that clip of Steph saying, "This was just a match everyone HAD to see!" into every WrestleMania rewind special they make, can't they?

    ReplyDelete
  19. HOW FAR HAS DOLPH FALLEN? He's now doing the Raw pre-show panel. Serously F- that guy.

    ReplyDelete
  20. GO JACKETS!

    A choking Pittsburgh is always fun to watch. Plus who doesn't like an underdog?

    ReplyDelete
  21. At least he gets a chance to talk.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah, that game and RAW will be doing swap duty here.

    ReplyDelete
  23. WrestleMania Rewind: Bart Gunn vs Butterbean.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That seems to be what he is hinting at.


    I have that coming in the mail tomorrow and cant wait to watch it and I will post it as a choice in the next shoot poll

    ReplyDelete
  25. Goddamn, that Evolution theme song is just as shitty today as it was 10 years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  26. WHAT!?

    That song is the best part of them being back!

    ReplyDelete
  27. He's here to show the world, well just the WWE Network subscribers I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Should I buy Last of Us for $22?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Needed the white/gold flashing lights.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't hate the song, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't see it as being awesome. Seems like mist people love it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. For all the grief that we give The Miz's reign as WWE champ around here, I really liked that short promo he cut on the RAW before Elimination Chamber, which his challenger Jerry Lawler missed due to the death of his mother. He found a way to be classy, yet still come off as an asshole and make people want to see Lawler kick his ass even more.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I enjoyed Miz's title reign. *runs away*

    ReplyDelete
  33. Which is supposed to be only Americans.


    Hell, throw him in with Zeb Coulter. Couldn't fare any worse, could he?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I thought there was potential in World Champion Miz.


    MAN was I wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Miz was fine, right up until they broke up Awesome Truth. It was all downhill from there.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just saw the Cena/Wyatt junk from Raw last week.


    He better get left laying in a pool of his own blood at Extreme Rules.

    ReplyDelete
  37. WWE F'd up so many potential stars. Ziggler, Miz, Swagger, Del Rio, Sheamus.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I agree. Wyatt needs to lose again.

    ReplyDelete
  39. So HHH has three theme songs now?


    One for his COO duties
    One for when he wrestles
    One for when he appears with Evolution.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Big E is bleeding from the nose and uses a ton of white powder in his intros.. Someone needs to get him a cup to pee in ASAP.

    ReplyDelete
  41. You can't count Miz there, though. They served up WrestleMania 27 for him on a platter and he deliver a lackluster match on the biggest show of the year. If he had actually delivered a good match, i can see sticking with him as champion for a bit, but they couldn't get the belt off of Miz fast enough.

    ReplyDelete
  42. and one for when he has sex with Stephanie: "I'm An Ass Man"

    ReplyDelete
  43. To his credit, they gave him 10 minutes and a countout finish

    ReplyDelete
  44. "What happened to KANE???"


    You put him in a goofy suit?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Are you saying that they've resigned Vince Russo?

    ReplyDelete
  46. He can be the American who never refuses a job

    ReplyDelete
  47. Meh, the platter was a side show to build up the Rock. Tired of Miz now, but let's not pretend he was given the rocket push

    ReplyDelete
  48. Pens going down again.

    ReplyDelete
  49. The match got cut-off due to the concussion Miz suffered, but before that it was the drizzling shits.


    Cena's gotten watchable matches out of the Great Khali.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Cut Miz some slack. He took a man-sized bump, suffered a pretty serious concussion, and still came back to finish the match.

    ReplyDelete
  51. That was the planned finish, wasn't it? I thought it wasn't cut short. Miz's concussion was nasty. Rock ruined that whole Mania and the one two years after it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. They keep taking this many penalties and that won't matter for Columbus

    ReplyDelete
  53. Custom Lemmy cover version?

    ReplyDelete
  54. I just came here to post that, thinking... we need to talk about this. From what little he says in the trailer, it was not forced, but it's Piper, you never know with that guy... and wrestlers are always working.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yeah, don't even give the unwashed masses a choice in this one. Just go for Piper.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I am. The fifteen minutes before the concussion were the drizzling shits. He did his best after that.

    ReplyDelete
  57. New Boondocks tonight.


    My excitement is off the charts.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Pushing Ryder off the ramp, setting JR on fire, the Lita wedding...


    Is this supposed to be a Kane highlight reel or Kane's funniest moments?

    ReplyDelete
  59. I don't think anyone wants to see Kane in a WWE title match on PPV in 2014.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Right. The planned finish was the restart and Rock screws over Cena. There were 15 minutes before that that were boring as fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  61. No one wanted to see Big Show in a WWE title match on PPV in 2013. Didn't stop them.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I still think that storyline can happen... where Kane saves Daniel Bryan from a beatdown, they stare at eachother for a while, and then embrace. The crowd would pop huge for it... and wrestling fans are extremely forgiving/willing to be forgetful in these types of situations.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Takes two to tango. I've honestly only seen the match maybe twice and recall Cena being just as bad as Miz. They just had bad chemistry. The triple threat cage match at Extreme Rules with Morrison was great though.

    ReplyDelete
  64. what people want to see is not the main determinant of WWE booking, unfortunately.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Watching the Raw pre show...still not totally sure why ADR had to be in the tournament. Didn't he defeat the IC champ twice in non-title matches in the last month?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Seriously, I would actually read one of Bayless' shoot reviews for that explanation alone.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Anyone ever notice that if you log out of the network then log back in later on that "what's on now" will list whatever was on when you logged out?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Kane: When we don't want to waste a real contender for the current cycle.

    ReplyDelete
  69. He had to be in it because SHUT UP!

    ReplyDelete
  70. And in a fair world, "Takes two to tango" sounds great. But in the real world, Cena has a string of ****+ WrestleMania appearances and then serves up a steaming pile of horeseshit with Miz. Who's gonna get the blame?


    And like 1/6 of the people saw the Extreme Rules match, so sorry Miz. You want to be a big game player? They you have to play big in the big games.

    ReplyDelete
  71. What app? I hadn't noticed that.


    Then again, I log out of the network so infrequently.

    ReplyDelete
  72. How preseigous is the title when guys who are in this tournament have won the belt 3 or 6 times?

    ReplyDelete
  73. One guy does.


    Sadly, his vote is the only one that matters.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Just got back from a date after watching cap 2,great movie.

    ReplyDelete
  75. If Dolph stays this good on panel shows like he was tonight, he'll either...

    1. Get noticed by Vince and pushed thusly
    2. Take A-Ry's job

    ReplyDelete
  76. On Roku at this time... I don't lg out per say but just back out of it and go to Netflix or W/E

    ReplyDelete
  77. Evolution just formed to take on the Sheild... doesn't leave a lot of viable options to do the job. Kane makes the most sense at this point.


    They all can't be super heated or five star matches.

    ReplyDelete
  78. The only redeeming aspect of that entire promo was Wyatt's total no-sell of Cena's goofiness.

    ReplyDelete
  79. 3-continues to be de-pushed.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Dolph will then lose his panel spot to Alberto Del Rio the next week..

    ReplyDelete
  81. Not to mention when there are several former world champions

    ReplyDelete
  82. intestinal fortitudeApril 21, 2014 at 5:58 PM

    3 - Get a concussion

    ReplyDelete
  83. He'll take A-Ry's job alright. As JTTS.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I should have gone to Raw. It's in Baltimore. I could have gone there.


    Smackdown is in Hershey.... I could go there too, but the last time I was at a Smackdown taping it was so depressing.

    ReplyDelete
  85. My friend that was happy with Batista's return wants.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Yeah, that's about the right price for it.

    ReplyDelete
  87. If you're not reading them, you're missing out. Often times I've seen the shoot in question, and even then I enjoy reading Bayless' recap.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Overrated or truly a great game?

    ReplyDelete
  89. I bought Dishonored over a year ago then never played it.

    Damn, this is GOOD

    ReplyDelete
  90. I've heard it's a great game, but it seems overrated to me. Haven't played it yet, though. But I also have a general, loose policy about not paying any more than around $20 for a game.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I keep meaning to play it. I rented it and gave up for some reason after just about 20-30 minutes. Seemed good.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Had a date tonight,just got back from it.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I wonder if they'll have a HUG IT OUT match at Extreme Rules.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I don't read much of anything here outside of the live threads.. I'll piddle in a few question threads Scott has and some Daily Update threads, but that's really it.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Friend of mine said is overrated.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I heard Cap 2 was great. Confirm or deny?

    ReplyDelete
  97. A) I am flattered you chose me to mention this too (legit) B ) How did it go?

    ReplyDelete
  98. Did you close the deal?

    ReplyDelete
  99. Don't be. he also mentioned it downthread a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  100. He's probably not wrong. It just seems really unoriginal. Another post-apocalyptic zombie game with forced stealth elements.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontApril 21, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    I liked the Shield beatdown, good ol fashion heel dickey.

    ReplyDelete
  102. That's even more flattering, he wanted to make sure I saw it (my ego will NOT be denied)

    ReplyDelete
  103. YES,Winter Soldier was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontApril 21, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    Poor Bryan.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Stranger in the AlpsApril 21, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    This plate of Vietnamese spring rolls tastes Asian.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Bryan looks ready to cry already.

    ReplyDelete
  107. God forbid you have a bad hair day or something.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Bryan's a pro. He looks like he's been crying a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  109. It was fun it was more of planting the seeds for the next one,she is gonna take a while,she did let me hug her in the movie.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Huh. They're actually going to put them together on-screen that's not Total Divas? Interesting. Wonder if that'll be a permanent thing.

    ReplyDelete
  111. How can someone not like him?

    ReplyDelete
  112. Brie Bella's one of only 2 tolerable divas on the reality show.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontApril 21, 2014 at 6:04 PM

    Damn, his eyes are red and bloodshot. Makes me feel for the guy.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I don't know how anyone watches that show.

    ReplyDelete
  115. If they had been smart (they're not) they would have booked Brie to win the women's title in the same fashion for a true face "power couple"

    ReplyDelete
  116. Her and Naomi/Trinity.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I think Steph's music does a great job of making her unlikable. Because I can't fucking stand that entrance music.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Right?! Do you know how much money I spend on Sculpting Chut UH ey in rder to maintain my excellent doo?

    ReplyDelete
  119. It is awesome. Didn't think I'd like it.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Trainwreck fun.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Red. Dress.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I can't state enough how awful Steph's entrance music is.

    ReplyDelete
  123. The other being Naomi?

    ReplyDelete
  124. Bryan's dad was a big rough logger, right? So he probably would be pissed if he took off work.

    ReplyDelete
  125. You'd be lucky if half the words were accurate.


    I DO BASS MAN!
    YEAH I DO BASS MAN!

    ReplyDelete
  126. Well make sure you get further every time, and if you haven't closed by date 3 ignore her for like a week to make sure she knows she needs to appreciate you

    ReplyDelete
  127. intestinal fortitudeApril 21, 2014 at 6:05 PM

    "Sincerely and generally"

    ReplyDelete
  128. They were chanting YES during their honeymoon, that's for sure.


    (Eh, everyone's been making that joke. Ah well.)

    ReplyDelete
  129. If this were an episode of Saved by the Bell, I'd be asking how many moose you killed to get your hair right.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Daniel being here on the day his father died makes me love the guy THAT much more... a true professional in every sense of the word.

    ReplyDelete
  131. You'd have loved Raven then

    ReplyDelete
  132. Man Brie looks hotter than ever...

    ReplyDelete
  133. Date someone else tomorrow. She'll be a lot easier then.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Why is Steph's voice so deep? Its like, weird.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Next one might be for GOTG,she loves the marvel films.

    ReplyDelete
  136. She comes off as fine. Not necessarily a genius but isn't an idiot like her sister.

    ReplyDelete
  137. "It was rustic and breathtaking - if you're into that kinda thing"

    ReplyDelete
  138. "If you're into that kind of thing"

    She's so good at heeling

    ReplyDelete
  139. I like that taking the high road is actually a pain in the ass

    (not that I know. High Chaos for the first playthrough

    ReplyDelete
  140. Probably due to her legit being a bitch

    ReplyDelete
  141. How many championship reigns has Kane had in 17 years? Three? Why is he so feared? Ha

    ReplyDelete
  142. Well there's the match no one wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Demon form? So, is the mask now like Jim Carey's The Mask?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Is that a tattoo or does she need to shave

    ReplyDelete
  145. She's looking amazing. Not sure what it is. Probably a combination of everything. Her hair looks good.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Kaaannnneee....STAY. STAY!

    ReplyDelete
  147. They waste raw and ppv time

    ReplyDelete
  148. It's not bad. the terrible voice acting killed it for me, especially considering the cast.

    Also I dunno how I feel about magic / stealth / action games. I liked Thief a lot because outside of some mystical stuff surrounding the game, you're always a guy in the shadows with not much to go on.

    That said I DID play a ton of the second DLC and liked it quite a bit more. Maybe it was just a weird "didn't gel with me right away" kind of thing.

    ReplyDelete
  149. No,is gonna take awhile.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Oh hey, the mask is back. That was pointless.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Demon form = Kane doesn't wear the mask, the mask wears him, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Those were the only way to tell the Bella's apart for years before their appearances started to vary.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Plus being married!

    Seriously though I think they are hotter than they get credit for on here.

    ReplyDelete
  154. This is fucking stupid. At least Bryan will have the title longer than a month!

    ReplyDelete
  155. You know, I actually don't mind Kane/Bryan for Extreme Rules. They have good chemistry.

    ReplyDelete
  156. intestinal fortitudeApril 21, 2014 at 6:08 PM

    Hellfire and Midcard

    ReplyDelete
  157. Isn't that like a few months from coming out?

    ReplyDelete
  158. Why is Steph pro-Brie


    Why the fuck is she yelling into a microphone during this real moment


    Why the fuck is this a fucking title feud

    ReplyDelete
  159. I don't have a problem with any of this, given the circumstances.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I'd take Brie more seriously if she wore a dress like Miss Elizabeth.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Can we get some consistency here with Stephanie? That's probably too much to ask.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I hope I'm not the only one who's a little sad at the loss of Mr Lahey Kane

    ReplyDelete
  163. Think about Dr. Shelby, Kane!

    ReplyDelete
  164. Jake Roberts from WM8 called... and laughed at that Tombstone on the floor.

    ReplyDelete
  165. That was the slowest and least powerful looking Tombstone EVER.

    ReplyDelete
  166. There is a FANTASTIC Legends of Wrestling about Raw on the Network right now. it was shot sometime around episode 1000.


    I wish this JR would do his podcast, since he's not spending the whole hour trying to put himself over.

    ReplyDelete
  167. If someone doesn't think they're hot they are a moron.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Tombstone hours after his dad dies.

    ReplyDelete
  169. August here in the States.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Jake's head was on UT's thighs for that tombstone

    ReplyDelete
  171. Probably should get used to it.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Ugh, tell me we're not going back to tweener bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  173. 18 reigns of differing importance.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Why does Steph want Kane to stop exactly?

    ReplyDelete
  175. What's wrong with eating pizza?? The guy is in mourning..

    ReplyDelete
  176. She comes off as funny.

    ReplyDelete
  177. She wants to control the monster.

    ReplyDelete
  178. You know that was supposed to be powerful...I just got bored.

    ReplyDelete
  179. Step's reaction is confusing to say the least ...

    ReplyDelete
  180. I think he meant world

    ReplyDelete
  181. They're probably doing this to write him off the show so he can have the night off the mourn. If that's true, good on them.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Joke, meet Johnny Polo. Polo, this is joke.
